ve (video is static gid).
Also, I think that the debian policy manual should explain why
dpkg-statoverride is necessary when using dynamic uid/gids, and why it
is necessary when debconf changes permissions. It's probably obvious to
some, but it wasn't to me, and I am sure plenty of other people reading
it.

ions would still be
wrong. I don't know of another way around that. Using dpkg-statoverride
in postinst is a messy solution, but the only one I can think of that
keeps the permissions correct during that window when the uid or gid
are dynamic.

Then
some time later, that no longer required root permissions, so gpg was
set to 755. If dpkg never overwrote permissions, then gpg would not
have been able to update these permissions on upgrade.

> leaving windows on every upgrade when they have the wrong permissions?
Oh. I know what this means now. I was thinking of glass windows. Or
maybe MS Windows. There is no point in time where the user would have
the wrong permissions, as long as the package scripts are done
correctly.

No. You have to check for overrides first, and only chown/chmod if
there aren't any in place. You have to do this regardless of which
method you use.

The corresponding code to remove the override when the package is
purged would be: nothing.

ide, because you set it in the
rules file and it is included in the package binary. In the case that
you can't set it in the rules file, it would be set in the postinst
file at the exact same time that the maintainer would otherwise be
using dpkg-statoverride. In other words, there is no situation where
this would be true.

2) forbid the use of dpkg-statoverride, except for getting a list of the
preferences already set by the administrator.

Sie kommen in ihrem job nicht wie gewünscht voran und wollen eine

ght now. Something to think about: what about
programs that have a gui interface and libraries, how do you want to test
those? Ok, you can make sure only programers are packaging libraries, but
that's a pain.

Irix cut over with the 5.0 release. SCO and DEC have been the major
holdouts, but SCO switched with the UnixWare quasi-merge. BSD is now using
it as well.

erested. However, my
concern about user-written programs accessing old directories should
probably be stressed. Even if debian can make the switch without a
problem, shouldn't we give the users a bit of time to adjust?
